The highly anticipated “House of Gucci” film has been steadily building interest since the project was announced in 2019 with the release of first look photos, the official trailer and movie posters.
From director Ridley Scott, the film stars Adam Driver, Lady Gaga, Al Pacino, Jared Leto and Jeremy Irons as the real-life Gucci family, focusing on the murder of Maurizio Gucci, played by Driver. This is the first film project to come from Lady Gaga after her highly acclaimed performance in the 2018 film “A Star Is Born,” for which she won an Academy Award for best original song.
The “House of Gucci” film is based on former WWD Milan bureau chief Sara Gay Forden’s book, “The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour and Greed.”
